Shadowman4710 they are something that should never be remade and this is one of them it was a classic and Daniel Craig f***** it up me at the new Bond infinite my friend you get a sub from me on your channel thank you I was wondering how long people would figure it out that the new bonds sucks the original family that owns the film rights to it as f*** the new franchise up totally and with the exception of that Sean Connery Bond version that was not allowed to use to copyrighted music that was terrible too and what she tried to reprise his James Bond room I forgot the name of it
I've seen a few minutes of the Daniel Craig movie but I don't have any interest in watching that or any of the new Bond films. For me, the franchise reached it's peak with "Diamonds are Forever" (yes I know that a lot of Bond fans don't like that one but....whatever) and I haven't enjoyed many since then. I think you're thinking "Never Say Never Again" the 1983 reboot of 1965's Thunderball.
I was too young to understand this movie when it came out, and apparently so was everybody else. It was a mish-mosh, with too much psychedelia, but I love every minute of it. The Burt Bacharach score, and the Tijuana Brass and Dusty Springfield! And the cast! And Niven driving the Bentley 4 1/2 Litre Blower....
you hit the nail on the head when i was a kid i loved it, twenty years later seeing it again i realized it needed a lot of additional work...so great and not very good at the same time
If this beautifully trippy opening credits sequence doesn't perfectly encapuslate the groovin and far-out vibes of Swinging London, nothing does! Fault 1967's Casino Royale all you want - as an adaptation of the Fleming novel, as a parody of the spy genre, even as an intelligible and successful work of cinema - but you can't deny it having one of the grooviest soundtracks and hypnotizing credit sequences put to film.
At 5:15, when the car starts to move with the lion on the roof, on the soundtrack the theme of the film "Born Free" plays. That movie, based on a true-life book, was about people raising a lion in Africa and letting her go off and be wild when she grew up. The song "Born Free" was a big hit.
Blame Princess Margaret. She visited the set and Peter Sellers couldn't wait to meet her. What he didn't know was that Margaret and Welles were friends; she'd been his guest at his villa in Spain. So Sellers got a cold fish handshake and Welles got a long chummy chat. After that Sellers wouldn't even appear on set if Welles was there.
Even if you get the joke at the beginning it still makes no sense as it's presumably from the plot line in the middle of the movie. Such a strange film for its editing. Can see why reading about the troubled production.
By this point, he was desperate to do any movie that wasn't a James Bond film, and so, while he was probably glad not to be in this film, he wasn't necessarily overjoyed to be doing You Only Live Twice, either.
That 1967 brilliant title animation easily puts everything that came afterwards to shame! Who was the lead designer and animator? Return of the Pink Panther had a similar style. 🍷
@@MrChisleblast 👍 Oh Superb! Thanks so much. Been seeing alot of Richard's works growing up yet sad he was not as well known or recognised as say Hanna Barbera or Disney. I guess he will be best known for Pink Panther. Roger Rabbit was timeless and memorable though!
@@evm6177 Well, he had his own animation company, which was not a factory operation like H-B or Disney churning out shows & movies, it was more like a creative boutique where he did a lot of animated commercials to pay the rent. There has to be a lot of his work here on UA-cam - the lion in his commercial for Samson Shag Tobacco has to be the sexiest feline ever animated.
Hey, how about some credit where credit is due? - Animated titles by Richard Williams - guy was an animation titan & this is some of his best work Music composed by the legendary, and sadly, recently departed Burt Bacharach Theme song performed by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, a super-popular band back in the day
The very start of the film only works as a joke if you understand the two men are in a "pissoir" - a public urinal for men on the sidewalks of Paris. The advertising poster on the left for Pschitt carbonated water is a crude ribald joke for English-speaking audiences, including the image of the liquid from the bottle spurting up into the cartoon man's mouth. Finally there's the additional element of the innocent young schoolgirls being led past by a nun while the men are interacting, with Peter Sellers looking towards the other man's crotch to see his "credentials".
Not to mention the poster for the Jacques Cousteau film "Le Monde Sans Soleil".. Jacques Cousteau was a personal friend of Ian Fleming, and his underwater explorations were an inspiration for "Thunderball"...
The whole point was to do the opposite of the Bond films. Make it mundane and anticlimactic in the extreme to counter the over the top thrills as employed in the Connery films.
Jack Denninger my friend you seem to forget something celebrities are cloned they make a lot of money for the studios it if one dies or it's expires a new one get put out would have different name in a different body look but it's the same clone the Studios have saved tons of money All actors with f***** up attitudes with problems why deal with them when you can make a clone
"These are my credentials." "They appear to be in order." Understated, but how did it get past whatever censors were in operation even in the free-wheeling sixties?
I don't care what some people say, but I love this film. I'll be singing that tune now for days.
That music brings back a hundred memories of much better times.
Me too
So true, my friend
Perhaps for you but not better times in general.
I first heard in 67 when it came out,liked the music and the film, I was 10 first movie I liked. And I understood the whole movie!
No matter what you might think of this film, you have to admit it has one of the better opening sequences in movies.

And funny too
I wish I liked this movie, as much I like its opening titles.
The era of great films.
Is no one going to mention the fabulous music by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass?
Yes I bought the soundtrack I love it!
What an odd comment, lol
Godspeed, Burt Bacharach (the composer), and I hope you find your peace X
Rest in peace Niven...David Niven.
Best Bond film. Absurd. Best music.
Fully concur
This movie is just so great and not very good at the same time.
Hmm.. Need a word for that now! 🍷
you hit the nail on the head when i was a kid i loved it, twenty years later seeing it again i realized it needed a lot of additional work...so great and not very good at the same time
Best movie intro ever!
If this beautifully trippy opening credits sequence doesn't perfectly encapuslate the groovin and far-out vibes of Swinging London, nothing does!

Whenever a pissoire in the opening scene of a movie, you know it's gotta be great lol 😊😂😅
The music feels the old good sixties of my infancy.
Leave after the opening credits have finished. They're the best bit of the movie.
Sounds like you don't appreciate a spoof of the James Bond movies.
@@thedukeofnuts I.like it enough, I bought the dvd.
No the movie is good
Come back for the end credits with the short song about 7 James Bonds 😊
And, starting at 0:10, just before the credits, we see the shortest (and one of the finest) examples of Brit humor ever made.
Best open credit of all the Bond movies 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The music is great
Love this tune; for some reason I always think of the classic mini cooper when I hear it (must be the 1960's influence) wish I had one . . .
It's notable that this UA-cam clip finally gets the running speed correct. I've seen another version that has everything sped up a little.
Nice you got the aspect ratio correct.
Love that opening music! 😅
In Casino Royale, Peter Sellers played a guy pretending to be James Bond, and in Curse of the Pink Panther, Roger Moore was Clouseau.
I love this movie
Regardless of the film, opening music and good old sixties background is proper.
This movie has style. One gets the idea a lot of money was put in it
sequentialable12 I love the theme and when the Lions appears
It was fairly pricey for the time and incredibly made a decent profit. Orson Welles famous attributed to the naked girl on the poster.
Well, it was a product of its time. You could NEVER make a movie like this again. The era is totally different.
They blew up a beautiful JAG- yeah they had a big budget
The spectacle of a huge sum of money being blown on a series of gags of very variable quality is one of the film's charms...
Mr. Herb Alpert, trumpet.❤
It’s a Great Movie
Unfortunately Peter Sellers had Issues with Ordson Wells and Did Not Continue with The Movie
That is why he was Killed Off Early
Blame Princess Margaret. She visited the set and Peter Sellers couldn't wait to meet her. What he didn't know was that Margaret and Welles were friends; she'd been his guest at his villa in Spain. So Sellers got a cold fish handshake and Welles got a long chummy chat. After that Sellers wouldn't even appear on set if Welles was there.
In the credit you can add Jacqueline Bisset playing in a short sequence.
this movie and "What's new Pussycat" along with "Easy Rider" defined the 60s in the USA
Even if you get the joke at the beginning it still makes no sense as it's presumably from the plot line in the middle of the movie. Such a strange film for its editing. Can see why reading about the troubled production.
I'll bet the late Sean Connery was glad to dodge this bullet, and acted in a real James Bond movie this year "You Only Live Twice."
MGM had a 5 movie contract with him so he couldn’t do it anyway.
By this point, he was desperate to do any movie that wasn't a James Bond film, and so, while he was probably glad not to be in this film, he wasn't necessarily overjoyed to be doing You Only Live Twice, either.
Say what you will about this photoplay, it is quite good.
I just love the music of Burt anyway but this one is especially good.
I think the film was made at the end of an era that's why its rather bad.
That 1967 brilliant title animation easily puts everything that came afterwards to shame! Who was the lead designer and animator? Return of the Pink Panther had a similar style. 🍷
1:54 richard Williams, same guy, also did animation for Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the Thief and the Cobbler
@@MrChisleblast 👍 Oh Superb! Thanks so much. Been seeing alot of Richard's works growing up yet sad he was not as well known or recognised as say Hanna Barbera or Disney. I guess he will be best known for Pink Panther. Roger Rabbit was timeless and memorable though!

Hilarious, thank you!
3:20 cars Opel, Citroen DS, Cadillac, and I believe we get a glimpse of a Daimler at 3:25.
Winston Elston probably a Volga
Hey, how about some credit where credit is due? -
Animated titles by Richard Williams - guy was an animation titan & this is some of his best work
Music composed by the legendary, and sadly, recently departed Burt Bacharach
Theme song performed by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass, a super-popular band back in the day
A good spy is a pure spy, inside and out!!
Takes his entrails out- washes them by hand

That opening bit is perhaps the best sample of Brit humor one might want.

🤷🏻♀️🤪
oh i get it now
Thank you so much for clarifying.
❤
look at the symbolism - 5 coming together (Illuminatti) with sheep
🍷👍
IF you like this movie by John Huston 2 others i highly recommend he directed: The Kremlin Letter and THE LIST OF ADRIAN MESSENGER
Why was Ronnie Corbett not in the credits?
Herb Alpert!!!
The movie is not that great and not close to as bad as its reputation. Its Burt Bacharach score is sensational.
Even the pre-credits sequence is nonsensical.
The whole point was to do the opposite of the Bond films. Make it mundane and anticlimactic in the extreme to counter the over the top thrills as employed in the Connery films.
For a moment I thought the guy poking his head out at the beginning was Bill Nye...

"These are my credentials." "They appear to be in order." Understated, but how did it get past whatever censors were in operation even in the free-wheeling sixties?
Ahhh. Anyone remember the days when people had a sense of humor?
Semolina Tina? LOL
What's that Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer logo doing here in the beginning?
It was released by MGM in 1967!
Like Airplane! or Naked Gun/Police Squad......
Muito bom
